\"Hotel_Baron_thermometer\"<\/a>Climate change is bad for your health.\u00a0 The whole of the northern hemisphere has been suffering from a heatwave this summer.\u00a0 The technical cause is the path of the jetstream<\/a>.\u00a0 However the path of this is affected by other factors – its complicated.\u00a0 What’s not so complicated is the outcome.\u00a0 Very high temperatures.\u00a0 Records have been broken in Japan and almost in Europe.\u00a0 In southern Europe and California and even inside the Arctic circle in Sweden there have been very bad forest fires.<\/p>\n
